If you are searching for a short but challenging trekking experience in Lombok, the Mount Rinjani Second Summit Trek is the perfect adventure. This 2-day trekking program is specially designed for fit and adventurous hikers who want to explore the spectacular high-altitude landscapes of Mount Rinjani without climbing to the main summit.

Organized professionally by Greenland Lombok Senaru, the Mount Rinjani Second Summit Trek follows the beautiful Sembalun route, famous for its wide savanna views, dramatic volcanic ridges, and unforgettable crater rim camping experience.

Although the trek does not reach the main summit (3,726 m), hikers will climb to the Second Summit viewpoint at approximately 3,200 meters. From this incredible vantage point, you can witness breathtaking panoramic views of Lombok Island, Segara Anak Lake, and the surrounding mountain ranges.

This program is ideal for trekkers seeking a rewarding mountain challenge within a shorter trekking duration.
